Lenovo IdeaPad S10 Does Not Sport X4500 Integrated Graphics


August 21st, 2008 by Joanna Stern  Current Price: $349.00 - $369.97 (2 sellers)

The guys at Engadget spotted the IdeaPad S10 listed on Lenovo’s site with higher end graphics. We figured we would clear up any confusion there had been about the Lenovo S10 sporting Intel X4500 integrated graphics, even though Lenovo has already changed the misprint on its site.

I checked out the device manager on the Lenovo IdeaPad S10 and it turns out, as expected, that the netbook has the usual Intel GMA 945 chipset. See the screenshot below.

    at first they add an CDRW/DVDROM to the red one, with a 15% discount coupon totaling in 373.15. now, they are all gone. with this current specs, i rather pick aspire one instead. what a shame…

    Not surprised.

    Guess I’ll probably stick to my 1000H (typing on it now in fact). I’ll wait till next summer and see what’s out, then upgrade to a new netbook. For $500 or less, I can easily justify selling the old one and buying a new one each year.

    I wonder - what will netbooks be like a year from now?

    Hmm…

    Damn it! You know I wasn’t real concerned about the x4500 graphics. However, I was concerned about Bluetooth. This morning I was told by a CSR that the S10 will not have Bluetooth yet looking at the image above it clearly does. I went and ordered a USB Bluetooth dongle in anticipation of receiving the S10. So which is it Lenovo!

    just because it listed the ‘bluetooth devices’ category in device manager, doesn’t mean it’s equipped with one. plus, the particular model she has access to may be the one w/ bluetooth, unlike the current model being sold.

    fairly certain the one being sold right now does NOT have bluetooth. not really sure why there’s so much fuss on the specs, the discount price was still fairly competitive… the optical drive issue should have been obvious.

    Question: could you possibly post the sound card information? (i.e. vendor and device codes) That would help me decide on this notebook.

    It sounds like you’re creating problems yourself by trying to solve this issue instead of looking at why their is a problem in the first place
